Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is the textbook to which all who desire a comprehensive exposition of pediatric infectious disease will turn." - JAMA, review of the previous edition.

Highly recommended not only to specialists in infectious diseases and departments of pediatrics but to all pediatricians." Pediateic Endocrinology Reviews, December 2009

5.0 out of 5 stars Pediatric infectious diseases, March 7, 2010
This review is from: Feigin and Cherry's Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases: Expert Consult - Online and Print, 2-Volume Set, 6e (Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Disease (Feigin)) (Hardcover)
This is the sixth edition of the famous textbook or some would say the Bible in pediatric infectious disease that was conceived by Ralph D Feigin and James D Cherry, when they started collaboration 40 years ago, but the first edition was only published in 1981. This is also the last time that the "spell" of Feigin will be felt, because he died before the publication, but was active and contributed right up to his death.

Ralph D Feigin (1938-2008) was born in New York City and received his MD from the Boston University School of Medicine, trained in pediatrics in Boston and also spend time at the United States Army Research Institute during his subsequent army service, where he became interested in infectious diseases. In 1968 he went to Washington University and St Louis Children's Hospital, where he developed a state of the art infectious disease division. His work there and later, when he in 1977 moved to Houston in Texas to become chair of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital was the basis for the development of the textbook and his unique impact on the field of infectious disease in childhood.

This textbook in two volumes at 3,568 pages is a mammoth achievement with eight parts, 25 sections, 266 chapters and close to 300 contributors from 108 universities in 15 countries worldwide. The eight parts and topics consists of host-parasite relationships and the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, infection of specific organ systems, infections with specific microorganisms, viral infections, infection control, therapeutics, prevention, approach to the laboratory diagnosis and biostatistics applicable to this subspecialty.

Impossible to single out any one of the 266 professional chapters, but I really liked the chapter (7) on epidemiology of infectious diseases by Robert S Baltimore and Eugene D Shapiro with historic examples and material explaning how to use clinical manifestations and epidemiology to detect disease patterns. One thing that I missed was color pictures, since the black and white pictures were neither good quality not instructive for educational purposes, so maybe next edition will have color pictures? All in all a very important book that should be on the shelves of any pediatric department around the globe.
